Best tried and tested pizza ovens
For more recommendations, expert appliances reviewer Rachael Penn has tested a range of the best outdoor and indoor pizza ovens. Here are her top picks.
Gozney arc lite
During testing, the Gozney arc lite was awarded the best outdoor pizza oven, with Rachael describing it as “a pleasure to use.” She noted that the pizza oven reaches full temperature (500C) quickly, after which “pizza cooked in less than two minutes and, time after time, came out of the oven with a crispy crust and properly bubbling cheese.” She found “The pizza cooked evenly each time, with no cold spots and or burnt bits.”

Casa Mia bravo
For a budget option, the Casa Mia bravo excels. Rachael wrote that it is “impressive for its price” and that it was the best budget outdoor pizza she tested. She added: “It’s gas powered and the gas runs around the edges of the oven, so you get a good even heat inside. It heated up reasonably quickly and produced really good pizza with a nice coloured crust.”
